ber of students. The university’
s
budget was reevaluated and,
according to Kettenbeil, cuts
were made across the univer-
sity, including the $25,000 for
HMD.
Grasso’
s predecessor as chan-
cellor, Dan Little, had been the
first to establish Hillel’
s pres-
ence on campus in 2007.
Starkman told the JN
that HMD’
s funding typi-
cally comes from its own
fundraising efforts, as well
as an annual allocation
from Jewish Federation of
Metropolitan Detroit. HMD
has two part-time develop-
ment directors who work to
secure larger gifts from the
community.
“We have different relation-
ships with each university that
we serve,
” Starkman added.
“With the case regarding
UM-Dearborn, we were not
previously serving them, but
they wanted to bring our pres-
ence to campus. The funding
they gave us went directly to
serving UM-Dearborn.
”
Starkman remains optimistic
there will be an opportunity to
continue HMD’
s presence on
campus.
“We hope there will be some
way to salvage something
moving forward,
” Starkman
said. “The reason Chancellor
Little decided to create a formal
Hillel presence on that campus
was because he recognized
there was a need, and I believe
that need is still present today.
”
HMD’
s website currently has
no upcoming events scheduled
at UM-Dearborn.
“NON-EXISTENT ON CAMPUS”
Kettenbeil noted in his state-
ment that UM-Dearborn
would continue to fund stu-
dent-run groups, including its
Jewish Student Organization
(JSO), which is currently allo-
cated $2,000 annually.
“University funds must be
used to benefit all students,
” he
said.
Kettenbeil also pointed to
UM-Dearborn’
s Center for
Social Justice and Inclusion
(CSJI), which works with
groups including the LGBTQ+
community, veterans and
interfaith organizations to help
provide programs and activities
that seek to unite the Dearborn
community. One of the key
programs for the CSJI is inter-
faith initiatives.
But Wohl, who served as
president of JSO during his
sophomore year, said the orga-
nization “is becoming non-ex-
istent on UM-Dearborn’
s
campus.
”
“They haven’
t held an event
throughout the 2019 school
year, have yet to coordinate
one this year and they still have
myself listed as president even
though I am no longer in that
position,
” he said.
Wohl voiced concern that
the decline of the JSO, and
now the withdrawal of sup-
port for Hillel’
s presence on
campus, may affect Jewish
UM-Dearborn students.
